An aging star reinvented as a respected veteran

Keith Brooking made his name in Atlanta, five straight Pro Bowls and 200-tackle seasons as the heartbeat of the Falcons defense, before arriving in Dallas a decorated veteran.

Madden captured both chapters, a 95 Atlanta peak in the 2007 edition stepping down into the 80s during his Cowboys years, the honest grade of a mid-thirties leader. He still delivered 150-plus tackles in each of his first two Dallas seasons before Sean Lee emerged, a fiery presence for a young defense. He finished in Denver, more than 1,100 tackles and fifteen seasons behind him.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
